Israel pushing Lebanon army to search private homes for Hezbollah weapons, officials say

Israel is urging Lebanon's army to intensify its crackdown on Hezbollah by searching private homes in southern Lebanon for weapons, according to multiple security officials from both countries. Lebanon's military leadership has rejected these demands, citing concerns that such actions could provoke civil unrest and undermine their current disarmament strategy, which they believe is cautious but effective. The Lebanese army has made significant progress, discovering tunnels and confiscating missiles, but maintains that searching private property was never part of its plan. Israeli officials remain skeptical of the army's approach, arguing that Hezbollah is rapidly rearming and that Lebanon's efforts are insufficient without home searches. Meanwhile, Lebanese officials warn that acquiescing to Israel's demands could destabilize the region further and hinder ongoing efforts to restore stability in a country already facing significant challenges.
